With a throng of fantastic role , from demon killer like Tanjiro and Zenitsu to Hashira like Mitsuri and Muichiro , there are so many people that unfeignedly sum up exactly what it signify to be a champion inDemon Slayer , through their action and not just words . The series ' independent character , Tanjiro Kamado , embodies these principle of heroism well , transforming from an average human boy to a courageous monster slayer in an sweat to write his younger babe , Nezuko , who was turned into a devil against her will .

Tanjiro is respectable and one of anime ’s best protagonists indeed , but I really believethere is a character who surpasses him when it come to braveness , valor , and overall heroism . This character I hold in such mellow regard is Kyojuro Rengoku , the former Flame Hashira . He may be a somewhat unexpected option for the daub ofDemon Slayer’sultimate hero , since his clock time in the serial publication was not very long and other character reference obliterate more devil during their calling than he did , but in my nous , one pivotal fight was what forever solidify Kyojuro Rengoku ’s condition asDemon Slayer’smost praiseworthy hero .

Rengoku and Akaza’s Final Fight is the Best in the Series

Rengoku Refused To Let Anyone Else Get Involved, Bearing the Full Weight of Akaza’s Attacks Like a Valiant Hero

Years after the fact , Rengoku and the Upper Rank Three fiend , Akaza’s , final fightin the Mugen Train arcsticks in my chief as the good in the series . This scrap was the coming ofDemon Slayer’ssecond season , match the former Flame Hashira against the strongest fiend to make an visual aspect in the story at this decimal point ( other than Lord Muzan ) . With Enmu defeated , Akaza was the last hurdle for the demon slayers to cross . Just when they believed the battle was over , Akaza stormed onto the scene and engage the exhausted former Flame Hashira in the battle of his life .

Akaza is most deserving of Tanjiro ’s piousness due to his morals , devastating past , and the fact that he was never truly evil .

Although Tanjiro , Zenitsu , Inosuke , and Nezuko were present , Rengoku took the lead story in this affray , realizing his comrades were worn out and injured from the anterior clash with Enmu . This is just one occurrence ofRengoku sticking up for those around him and put his own life on the line , rather than allowing someone else ’s to be threatened . Rengoku present off four different forms of his Flame Breathing , even managing to slice up off the ogre ’s arm . The encounter take to task on for quite a while , as Tanjiro looked on in awe , unable to even concentre because both company moved so quickly , they were undetectable .

The Upper Rank Kizuki

Even Demons Recognized Rengoku’s Power, Proof of His Amazing Skill

Rengoku Had Opportunities To Save His Life by Accepting Akaza’s Offer To Become a Demon, but He Did Not Waver

Rengoku fight down to the point of skinny collapse , after already taking down Enmu just moment prior and exerting almost all of his energy during that challenge . Not once did the smile bequeath Rengoku ’s nerve or the purpose leave his middle , ashis heroic perseverance carried him further than the physical limitation of his bodycould normally permit him to go . Even Akaza the fiend was moved by Rengoku ’s efforts , pleading with the Hashira to link up the demons or else and put his talent and headstrongness to a skillful use . Although Rengoku honorably refused , the fact Akaza take a human to link up him turn up Rengoku is gifted .

Demon Slayer ’s Hashira are some of the strong role in the serial , but some Hashira are much potent and more brawny than their peers .

At any point , Rengoku could have accepted the tempting offer Akaza kept making and give up his own life , but his morality would not permit him stoop so low . In my sentiment , Rengoku ’s commitment to fighting evil , even when it would have been easier and more good to him to begrudgingly give in to Akaza ’s pleas as a way to save himself , is another facet of his heroic personality I greatly look up to . After a final flashback in Rengoku ’s mind , in which he said his sayonara to his dear mother , Ruka Rengoku , he began to catch one’s breath his last , pushed beyond his body ’s limits .

Demon Slayer’s Hashira gathered together with the moon looming large behind them.

Rengoku’s Noble Sacrifice Cemented His Status as the Greatest Hero

Someone Who Is Able To Smile Reassuringly to Others as They Face Their Death Is Worthy of Being CalledDemon Slayer’sHero

Even as he lay dying when Akaza fly to the forest to shield himself from the sun , Rengoku did not despair . Tanjiro called after Akaza angrily , insisting that Rengoku won the battle , not him , because Rengoku was give enough to not give up and fly like Akaza and careful not to have unneeded injury to others . I believe Tanjiro ’s Christian Bible are correct , and although Rengoku did not survive this clash , he gain in the end bysticking to his heroic code of honour and forever typify what it imply to bear the title " hero,“or more specificially inDemon Slayer , the rank " Hashira . "

I will never block the way Rengoku fought until his body gave out to protect Tanjiro and his friends , who could have easily been killed by such an accomplished demon as Akaza . Rengoku ’s last action were unfeignedly selfless , as he was only think of how to keep humanity and his loved 1 secure , not his own well - being . Rengoku ’s forfeit was a fantastic loss that every Hashira and devil slayer mourn profoundly , andit ’s one of the only scenes that brings me to rip every single time . Rengoku ’s decease instance what poor boy really stand for : protecting others , as an object lesson for those who follow after him .

The serialized adaptation of Demon Slayer ’s Mugen Train movie expands on Rengoku significantly , giving him a whole installment ’s worth of focal point .

Demon-Slayer-Rengoku-clseup

Tanjiro behave Rengoku ’s sword guardwith him for a reason : Rengoku is a poor boy Tanjiro hop to emulate and never wants to blank out . Rengoku ’s mother always told him,“it is the debt instrument of those born stiff to defend the weak,“and Rengoku ’s final fight put this lesson into clear action . Even though many other characters inDemon Slayermade unbelievable sacrifices , such as Shinobu avenge her sister , for exemplar , Rengoku ’s altruism , unattackable morals , unshakable resolve , and power to express mirth and smile during such fearsome circumstances as his own destruction will always stick with me and earn him the title ofDemon Slayer’sbest poor boy .
